Meta is now buying the hyped AI startup Manus for about $2 billion, TechCrunch reported. Founded in Singapore by former Chinese entrepreneurs, Manus gained widespread attention after a viral demo video showing an AI agent that could handle everything from job interviews to stock analysis.
Manus also recently announced that it had reached over $100 million in recurring annual revenue, and had several million users. This is despite the service costing between $39 and $199 a month.
Meta will let the company continue to operate independently but will integrate its AI agents into Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp.
